Defeats always been the fate of Al Nassr when it comes to big games. Al Ittihad is the best SPL club this season, the club have proven this scenario in different SPL games and also against elite rivalry. I was not surprised when Al Ittihad did an epic come back against Al Nassr, ofcourse its the usual weakness and error in the defendlines of Al Nassr that cost them. They've always remained relenting when leading in a game, they do not know when to strive and this have become some sort of random feature for them.
I was expecting Al Ittihad to win, but when Al Nassr was ahead by 2-0, I thought that they had a chance. Native Saudi player Ayman Yahya scored the second goal for Al Nassr, after Sadio Mané scored a 3rd minute goal. By half-time, Al Nassr was 2-0 ahead. But then hell broke lose during the second half. Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kanté scored goals in quick succession to level the match, and then it was left to Algerian player Houssem Aouar to score the winning goal in injury time.
I now think Al Nassr is a joke, just imagine a team that was leading by 2 - 0 to nothing in the first half, in recent games that I have watched them play Vs Al Littihad, the one of yesterday was the best for me, although I watched only first half and the way they played was so much different, I actually thought that their elimination from the Asian Champions League was a mistake. Al Littihad became the better team after the break when they came back and scored 2 goals as if that wasn't enough, they finished the job in added time to make it 3 - 2 away from home. Really disappointed in Al Nassr.
